leadership

I want to help you lead. I love working with leaders to increase self-awareness, deepen reflection, and embolden action. Wondering if you are really a leader? You are.

Leadership comes from actions not titles. You are a leader because you care about something. You are a leader because you are taking meaningful action.

Leaders take responsibility for outcomes, changes, or actions. Now that’s who I want to work with!

Leaders don’t share specific personality traits. They aren’t loud or dynamic or tall or extroverted. Leaders don’t even need to share certain titles. Perhaps you are a leader because you hold the title of CEO. But maybe you are a leader because you speak the truth in your team meetings. Or because you feel called to take action.

“Leader” might be a title you reject or only whisper to yourself.

In fact, formal leadership roles and titles in a hierarchical system can create barriers to powerful leadership. When you are a CEO, a director, a manager, a supervisor, etc. feeling the weight of your role and your title can be exactly what keeps you from being the best leader you can be: one who is vulnerable, models learning, and is also not afraid to make decisions and set boundaries.

So whether you are a leader in title or action alone, a co-leader or part of a leadership team, want to work with you.

Let’s increase your self-awareness. When we lack self-awareness we can get caught in the trance of “how we’ve always done things.” I want to help you see expanded possibilities and perceive alternate ways of doing things. If you have a vision, self-awareness can help you get there.

Let’s define leadership for you. Most of us have pre-existing ideas of what it means to be a leader and who is right for leadership roles. But these are just ideas, and they are rooted in old systems of hierarchy and white supremacy. Let’s get grounded in and present with who YOU are and how you want to lead.

Let’s figure this out together. Many leaders feel alone. They lack a place where they can be completely honest, where they can practice vulnerability, and figure out a new way forward. Let me be your sounding board. Together we can work through the complexity of competing thoughts and feelings and get to the heart of the issue.
